SPEAKER_00: It's so comforting to know that God is not only present with us in our brokenness, but he also restores and heals what is broken.
SPEAKER_00: Psalm 147, 2 through 6 speaks to the redeeming power of God.
SPEAKER_00: It says, The Lord built up Jerusalem, he gathers the exiles of Israel.
SPEAKER_00: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
SPEAKER_00: He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
SPEAKER_00: Great is our Lord and mighty in power.
SPEAKER_00: His understanding has no limit.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
SPEAKER_00: From that passage alone, we can trust that God builds up, He gathers, He heals, He binds up wounds, He calls us by name, and He sustains the humble.
SPEAKER_00: Today, as we begin a time of prayer, let's praise God for who He is and what He does.
SPEAKER_00: Find one quality that stood out to you from Psalm 147.
SPEAKER_00: Thank God for that today.
SPEAKER_00: He builds up, He gathers, He heals, He binds up wounds, He calls us by name, and He sustains the humble.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for sustaining me.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
